I am a blade of grass One of many My brothers are countless And so are my enemies I grew from seed I am a blade of grass One of many My brothers come in many types From many countries But we all grow from seed Some are born in cultures A lawn in the suburbs Fed and protected by the overlord With the jean shorts and the fertilizer They are strong and safe together But when they grow up tall Like individuals Their god cuts them all Til they are beautiful All the same, all pawns in a larger game I've heard of grass My distant brothers Who must fight to survive on their own They know not Of the lawnmower They are savage Their quality of life is much harder If only they'd realize They could be saved If it wasn't for our god We would fear them Who would save us from savages? Block our sun and drink our water If they could
Bow down now and worship the lawnmower He controls your fate You are in his domain He will save you from the evils of the world As soon as you fall in line I am a blade of grass Compassionate I want to save all my brothers Systematically To preserve the peace Other blades of grass My brothers Who weren't pretty in the eyes of our god Tried to unite with our lawn In our sod But our god Who we all give our lives to Poisoned our brothers I watched them burn in the sun And fall to their deaths So I left the lawn Into the wilderness And I fear drought and insects and weeds But I will always be free With no lawnmower controlling me I am a blade of grass One of many How long until the lawnmower finds me? And what I can do?
